I've played this (it's fairly challenging, not a game I recommend to casuals), and isn't this the same game where some SJW whined Selvaria Bles (the white haired chick in the background at the top) looked like a porn star and was thus objectification of women? More proof Johnny is just a sexist shitlord.

Here's is official art of Selvaria, you guys be the judge:

The designs for Valkyria Chronicles was done by Raita Honjou, a prolific hentai artist.

Looking forward to the back peddling.

The thing that kinda worries me about the Wikipedia articles relating to GamerGate is how they're all biased against GG. Any random schmuck who's curious about GG will just look at the wikipedia article and some news articles instead of doing research on both sides, and judge the movement as being a "harassement campaign against women", instead of ethics in gaming journalism.


[MEDIA=twitter]682626831367991297[/MEDIA]Great, I'd rather spend my money on this instead of the drek that'll be Rev60.

Lol nope. Rev60 will make only 10 bucks from the one copy it sells before people pirate it. Even then, Wu will only make $7 because Steam takes 30% of the sales.

>cellshaded final fantasy táctics

:story:

Every SRPG is going to be compared to FFT now? Táctics ogre and fire emblem existed first john, Also the mechanics are not the same you can actually control your units here , you can aim your gun, hide, barricade yourself,take cover,etc

Also is only 6 bucks on steam more cheaper that Revolution 60, include all the dlcs , you would know that if you did not avoid steam like the plague

I will forever be left speechless by the fact that Wu somehow manages to forge relationships that can be construed as "friendship" to some degree.

I doubt they're truly "friendships" in the idea they are people who share common interests and actually enjoy interacting with one another.

To Wu, which by extension goes for pretty much every big name SJW tied to GamerGate, there's friends, and then there's associates. The former are what I describe above - people who you generally have common interests with and enjoy the company of. The latter are what SJW's pretty much have in place of friends almost entirely as true SJW's are so fucking self-centered and egotistical that they don't have time to value other people beyond what good they mean to their own benefit. Zoe Quinn being a fucking game journalism town bicycle, for instance, where she fucked five people at least purely for preferential coverage in major gaming news outlets...behind her boyfriend's back no less.

Moving back to Wu specifically, just look at how their history in full shows their sociopath nature and exploitation of everybody they know, in part probably caused by an upbringing in unimaginable wealth where greased palms and pockets opened enough doors to support the foundations of such egotism. The attempts to get into the newspaper of Ole Miss were purely to try and shove that shitty comic into mass publication, and those other editorials we've found from Flynt elsewhere are all focused on things that Flynt decries as issues needing to be solved based on literally nothing but his own so-called authority. The stillborn animation studio had the other two co-founders leave almost immediately after its creation, leaving Flynt the sole employee, which leaves a lot of questions raised to say the least. Giant Spacekat's highly questionable hiring practices and testimonies of former employees indicate Flynt/Wu literally only trained them on their time purely to learn shit so they didn't have to, and then unceremoniously fired them when their usefulness was at an end and R60 was "finished."

Likewise, at least Dobson and Chu are throwing themselves readily at Wu's feet, but not ONCE has Wu really acknowledged their existence despite all their efforts. And this is because they have nothing to offer in return for becoming associated with Wu - one is a comic artist who doesn't have anything useful for Wu to exploit and increase their own position in some hierarchical system, the other a former Jeopardy contestant who drama continuously seems to be attracted to like a magnet and also has nothing that could benefit Wu in turn. Hell, Wu's own husband seems more valuable to Wu as the dimwitted sidekick whose entire existence is to be twitter comic relief/punching bag, while in material terms the only reason Wu can still live in some kind of suburban luxury as I'm almost certain all ties back to their family have long since gone, and with it the old money.

It's the eternal irony: For being "Social Justice Warriors" who decry any modern attacks on the idea of free acceptance of any and every kind of lifestyle (or something to that effect), the biggest names almost uniformly only care about others directly in terms that are effectively dehumanizing as they don't care who the fuck people are so long as associating with them leads to personal gain.
 
So that Valkyria Chronicles game has now officially gone from Wu-approved to contemptibly problematic in the span of a few hours.

Having romantic or sexual preferences is sexist bullshit, more at 11

Yeah, it such bullshit when people have sexual preferences! I think Wu is just salty her new waifu isn't into trans, since traits that have characters favor a particular gender can be on both male and female characters.

And yes, Wu. There are male characters that have the same trait.

There's also an original bonofied lesbain character who is obsessed with the female lead and has a skill where she gets stats boosts base on her proximiry AND another totally seperate skill where she gets stat boosts for being close to any female unit.

In fact the number of gay and bi characters in Valkyria Chronicles makes it one of the more progressive games in recent years.

Exactly. All your characters, including the side ones who aren't involved in the main story have a unique personalities, traits, flaws, ext. Hell, my favorite character in that game is a quiet sniper girl that prefers to be alone and by herself, Maria.

LOL, Johnny's pissed.

Holy shit, that delicious rage. Happy New Year, John, I hope you're as fucking salty, lonely, and miserable in 2016 as you were in 2015!

Off-topic: Does anyone know if John has weighed in on Christina Hoff Summers, aka the Factual Feminist? I discovered her this week and damn she is fucking awesome.

I would've thought Valkyria Chronicles would be too challenging for Wu, but then she did spell the title wrong... Has she ever played Valkyrie Profile, btw? That game is full of strong female characters.
Click to expand...
Strong female characters? They have to all get murdered or commit suicide to become party members. Every woman gets shat on in that game.
And Valkyrie is originally an abused orphan who just up and died trying to escape.

I call bullshit as well. Every other day we at least get two or three tweets of her prattling on about whatever game she's playing. Also, just a fun observation for you guys, every time I have checked her gamer profiles one of them has always shown that she's online playing something. I keep meaning to make a log of that to see how often she's playing a game when she's talking about work on Rev60 but it keeps slipping my mind.

You got links to those profiles? Just curious in checking them myself.

It never gets old to me either. The guy wasn't even disagreeing with John either, just posting one line of relevant factual information and John ripped him a new asshole for no reason. Fucking fantastic.
